Tony. I respect that it’s an excellent feature. But surely thats purely down to the difference of opinions. I’ve given Dean what I see as a fair score. And in fact scored him way higher than you scored graham Scott last week who had a bloody good game in very tough circumstances. Please apologise. ...

Big thanks from me because this thread worked. We had intended parking at Cockfosters (we usually use park in the residential area but the restrictions now include Saturdays). We followed the advice and went to Oakwood, parked easily and got there and back out very easily.

Rate the Ref is a good feature that John has been running for a number of years. Please don't ruin it with your nonsensical marks and comments.

I thought Pope was excellent today.

I’m hugely disappointed with the result because we’ve lost but there was so much today to be pleased with. So much to be positive about just now.

Some of his decisions, in part down to his positioning were totally baffling. You can tell the sheff utd game is now over ten years ago. If hes the best we have then its no wonder vars been brought in. Should have sent barnes off at the end too. Stupid foul and stupid antics after. 13 12 14 9 Stagg...

Good question. I asked him in post 30 - over 3 hours ago - how he could justify that mark, but he has chosen not to respond. Tarkowski put in a very solid performance today and was unfortunate to be on the losing side. Not just Tarky but Mee as well. Both had really good games today against some qu...

I’ll probably get criticised this week for over rating the referee but some of our refs would be well advised to watch the likes of Dean in action.

It’s almost like the rating and comments are written by some people before he plays !

Was fine when he came on but wasn’t on long enough for a rating.

I was advised that muesli is not a particularly healthy breakfast because of the amount of sugar even in the reduced sugar offerings. I was advised that corn flakes were even worse. I'll stick with my porridge.

How would he be screwing them over? I read this a lot about players. A footballer has every right to whatever he wants.

The issue with pricing it to suit your club is when the secret is let “ out of the bag” like a few years ago when Karen Brady went public with our refusal to agree to a lower price for the FA Cup tie Can only assume you mean the 5th round of the FA Cup in 2011 - the only time we've played against K...
